Commentary on 2 Chronicles 6:40

Theological / Devotional

Now, my God. Verse 40 is similar to 1 Kings 8:52, but vs. 41, 42 are not found in the parallel record in Kings. The conclusion of Solomon’s prayer reported in Chronicles is different from that reported in Kings. Evidently both writers give the prayer of dedication in a somewhat abbreviated form, probably not verbatim, but in substance.
